We talked to the Youth Conservation Corp at Rocinante High School about the BA/MD Program and college life in general. We were nervous to be approaching high school students, particularly those students who are "too cool" be attentive. Yeah, we remember those days. We know how high school students can be.
BUT NO. None of the students in the YCC were disrespectful. Not once did eyes glance away from us; the students were interactive, and they were tolerant of an obviously "winged" presentation. Several of them had already graduated and were preparing for college in the fall. We wish you all the best, and even if you are not interested in the BA/MD Program for yourself, we hope you pass on the information. Keep in mind our advice to not stress about college. It's honestly not that intimidating, and it is clear that you are all loyal to your studies. That's the key. Diligence.
Next, we made 400 copies of mini-flyers for the next Job/Health Fair on Monday, June 27th--11 AM to 2 PM at Sycamore Park Community Center. They were posted in restaurants like Andrea Kristina's and Three Rivers Brewery & Pizzeria, in addition to the windshields of random cars lining the streets and parking lots of major department stores. We'll probably do it again tomorrow and Sunday.
For now, my sandals are digging so deeply into my toes, I simply refuse to do it anymore. Plus, have you felt how HOT it is outside? Well, don't go through the trouble; I'll let you know that it's a tad bit uncomfortable. Stay indoors, if you can, in the peak hours of day (11 AM - 3 PM), but if you do travel, slather on plenty of sunscreen and wear a sombrero.
Tonight, S will go out to a barbecue and volleyball game with a local Church group, while Z, J, and I go to dinner at J's home. J's mother is a fantabulous chef and is just as wonderful with her dessert concoctions. Then we'll all meet up at the Sandstone Theater to watch "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."
Tomorrow: rock-wall climbing!
